Slow Crush

Your voice keeps echoing back and forth my head again
A silent reminder to each one of my everlasting failures
I wait for your hand to come and strike me down
A heavy weight upon my chest ‘cause…
…you’re the reason that I can’t breathe
You are the reason that I can’t feel the thing that keeps on swallowing me
You are the reason that I can’t see the luring darkness deep inside of me
You are the reason that I can’t hear the words that surely will crush all of me
You are the reason
You are the reason I would end
my hopes of feeling whole again
It never rains but it does pours when you’re around my friend
Please drag me out of this vicious circle
Or carry my dull body to the gates of hell
Let me knock the door of my own demise
Drain my lifeless soul through my blank and bleeding eyes
Tell me fondly this soon be over
And let me pray to the ones I once despised
Yaaargh
You are the reason that I can’t breathe
You are the reason that I can’t feel the thing that keeps on swallowing me
You are the reason that I can’t see the luring darkness deep inside of me
You are the reason that I can’t hear the words that surely will crush all of me
You are the reason
You are the reason
You are the reason
I would end me

Abyss

All I needed was this fire to burn bright
Don’t count on me my friend
I’m begging you this the end
Let me carry this burden through the maze of your lies
I’ll succumb into your eyes
With that grin that I despise
Find me, the strength to proceed into your maze
I beseech you to stay
Don’t count on me my friend
I’m begging you this the end
This brawl is making me hollow when the shades comes alive
I’ll succumb into your eyes
With that grin that I despise
Find me, the strength to give in, into the night
I worship those fears
Don’t leave me this way
It’s getting darker now
Drifting further away, through the depths of the abyss
Oh I, will carry on
Let the darkness devour my soul

Harbinger Of Calamity
07:39
|
|||
You took it all, my heart, my soul
Leading me straight into impending this misery
So I pray to the gods above that his devils may never see this sorry face
With eyes wide open I fear no more
With arms wide open I embrace it all
This impending doom will soon be yours
This ominous gloom will soon be yours to keep
With eyes wide open I fear no more
With arms wide open I embrace it all
This impending doom will soon be yours
This ominous gloom will soon be yours to keep
You took it all, my heart, my soul
Leading me straight into impending this misery
So I pray to the gods above that his devils may never see this sorry face
You can call me the harbinger of calamity
You can call me the harbinger of calamity
You can call me the harbinger of calamity

Oh I, will leave you behind
After these lonesome nights
You’re running out of time
‘Cause you won’t make it out alive and I won’t crawl back down
Don’t lose your sanity my friend, pride always goes before a fall
You’re spiraling down again
Behind your curtains of lies the walls come tumbling down
With the blood red sun burning that bright
your walls come down
‘Cause you won’t make it out alive and I won’t crawl back down
It’s high noon, it’s high noon and what comes around comes always back around
Don’t lose your sanity my friend, pride always goes before a fall
You’re on fire, you’ve set yourself on fire again
Now embrace your fall

Hammer Of Witches

Moros our task is done, life has been drained from their eyes
Moros what did we become, we grew into what most despise
Forgive me father for I have sinned
I've cast these curses from possessed deep within
Enchant me with evil, enchant me with lust
I'm surrounded by renegades I trust
Forgive me mother for those sleepless nights
Please close your eyes while my light slowly dies
Don’t worry now, this is my last goodbye
Let me surrender to the beholder’s eye
Moros our task has failed, life has been drained from my eyes
Moros what have I become, I grew into what most despise
Eyes are bloodshot
Our end is near
Hands are shaking
Our end, is, near
You've plead guilty, to murder of the third degree
Well to that, I say, burn us alive

Medusa
04:19
|

They grin like snakes
Their woeful glare
We all aboard
this living nightmare
Cut off our tongues and feed us with lies
tell us it’s true, with a blank stare in your eyes
Decapitate our believes and cast us into stone
drain all of our hope, ‘till all the Gods are gone
They're Medusa’s spawn
Oh it's time, gouge out our eyes
Let us grasp Our Common Sense

Inhale...

But this is high treason
The kings will have our heads and betrayal will be our middle names
Cause the only way to survive this mess is a devil’s pact without some shame
May the lords have mercy on me or their halo’s will burn in purgatory
Silence me
Make me a martyr
Restrain me
Agonize me
Silence me
Make me a martyr
Go ahead, try to drown my demons alive
Weeping away, straying away far from salvation
My demons, are watching
My demons, are smiling
Go ahead, try to bury us in sealed crypts
Oh, how the agony will fail us all
Go ahead, try to bury us in sealed crypts
Oh, how the agony will fail us all my dearest friend
The kings will have our heads and betrayal will be our middle names
Cause the only way to survive this mess is a devil’s pact without some shame
May the lords have mercy on me or their halo’s will burn in purgatory

Take The Shot
03:49

Take the shot, am I alive
Who the fuck do you think that you are
You broke the bottle
You cut my veins
Now it’s time to pay
It’s the end of this day
You’ve been so insane
Because of this pain
Now you have to pay
There’s nothing left to say
Misery can define us
Creep deep down inside us
What do you have to do
I haven’t got a clue
Sometimes there’s no heaven
There is no more hell
The only thing we have
Is within a bullet shell
Take the shot, am I alive
Who the fuck do you think that you are
You’ve took the shot
It had to stop
Why the fuck
Did I take the shot
Now I’m free from pain
Just emptied all my veins
Only one bullet was found
When my body hit the ground
I’ve took the shot
It had to stop
Why the fuck
Did I take the shot

...Exhale
04:32

Exhale!
My lungs seems to collapse, leaving me so breathless
So I grasp for air, oh, still leaving me breathless
It watches me, tie the rope as it proudly, kicks my chair
While the fog smothers me so well, fading the last of my light
Do I dare to look my failure in the eyes
Let it tell the tale, leave me paralyzed
And I feel the grief, pouring down on me
With all of my hope been buried at sea
Exhale!
Pumping more adrenalin than my veins allow
I Surrender, Oh I retreat
Rescue me, please rescue me from it’s burning, petrifying gaze
I’m cast to stone
Sample Martin Luther King “Beyond Vietnam - A Time to Break Silence”:
A true revolution of values will lay hand on the world order and say of war, "This way of settling differences is not just." This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into the veins of peoples normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice, and love. A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.

Sorrow
04:11
|

Frightened by your devious devilish grin
Losing my will to live is the only way to accept this sin
Close your sorrowful eyes, no tears are left for me
Fighting my own war is what happiness turned out to be
And I wanted you to know that you’re messing with me
The fear in my voice gives away what can’t be unseen
The hope in our eyes faded a long time ago
This sorrow I breathe is mankind’s worst to know
Mankind’s worst to know
Oppression without a goal is a heavy axe without an edge
Fitter to bruise followed by a honouring pledge
And I wanted you to know that you’re messing with me
The fear in my voice gives away what can’t be unseen
The hope in our eyes faded a long time ago
This sorrow I breathe is mankind’s worst to know
Mankind’s worst to know
